What is Drag’N Skin?

We are proud to present Drag’N Skin, an ingenious and patented product and process that protects plastic, fiberglass, and steel pipe. This highly durable fabric external sleeve has been developed specifically for Trenchless Pipeline Boring Applications. Drag’N Skin is a circular woven, tear and acid resistant, high strength polyester-based fabric sleeve that can be applied over virtually any pipe (up to 10″ diameter) using our proprietary Sleeve Ring (see video and photos).

Field tests and actual on-going pipeline installations have proven Drag’N Skin to be very effective in rocky terrain, under rivers, roads, railway beds, etc. The textile strength of Drag’N Skin has been tested to 18,750 psi at the University of Alberta Strength of Materials Laboratory. Drag’N Skin has been “field proven” to assist in protecting the coating from rock abrasion and gouging – hence minimizing external corrosion and eliminating premature replacement of damaged pipe. With today’s ongoing environmental concerns, Drag’N Skin’s process helps mitigate this challenge to the oil & gas sector. Find out more!
